The Critter Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Houston, I am in the Military, stationed in Norfolk, but live in Newport News. I am originally from a family farm in Tennessee and have been around animals of all sorts for as long as I can remember. I understand what it's like to have to go away, and deal with the decisions of what to do with a pet you love. Kennels can be a hesitant choice, and can also be a scary one. You other choices can be extremely pricey. I believe it's better to pick someone responsible and caring, that can show your pet the same love and care that you do! That's why I love dogvacay and decided to join!

About Houston S.

Skills

5 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I do very well with training as well when it comes to pets such as dogs who need some assistance! (Only if you're comfortable with it of course.) when you're away, pets- especially puppies need constant, uninterrupted training or they will forget! I am completely fine with whatever you recommend. Pets recovering from surgery or that need medication, I am very comfortable with. Those things are definitely not issues for my high experience level. Trading such as: house training, leash walking, crate training, separation anxiety, etc are all things that, with your recommendation, I am comfortable and experienced in working with.

Availability

I love every type of animal and am great with them. I DO live in a apartment that although is large, I believe some pets (especially dogs) really need an adequate amount of exercise. I drive 4 door Ford F-150 and LOVE parks, the beach, hiking, and anything athletic. So never fear that your pet won't get to experience the great outdoors no matter the weather! Playtime, feeding, exercise, and affection/relaxation are all parts of your pets day.
